This weekend we welcome the Holy Spirit at Pentecost who brings us together and leads us to God.  

In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles the Holy Spirit came into the room where the apostles were meeting. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak new languages. These new languages enabled many nations to understand. It says that they were all 'amazed and astonished' (Acts 2 1:11).   

Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to 'amaze and astonish' us this Pentecost. Let's pray a powerful wind of the Holy Spirit blow away all our differences, and not let the times we have fallen to block the path that leads to God.  

I pray you receive the Holy Spirit in a new way this Pentecost.
